Senior living organization Brio Living Services, formerly United Methodist Retirement Communities (UMRC) & Porter Hills, is proud to announce that it has been named to the Summer 2023 list of Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).
Brio Living Services was also among the Top 101 Highest Scoring Winners for the National program. This is in addition to its recognition earlier this spring as a Best and Brightest Company to Work For® in West Michigan, an honor Brio Living Services has earned for twenty-one consecutive years, and Best and Brightest ELITE Medium Business in West Michigan.
This national program honors organizations that “display a commitment to excellence in operations and employee enrichment,” according to a press release by NABR: “The Best and Brightest is a powerful community of the nation’s elite leaders who share ideas, practices, and have proven they are employers of choice. This designation is a great recruitment tool to attract and retain talent.”
The Summer Best and Brightest National winners included 137 organizations nationwide out of 1,100 nominations. Winning organizations were assessed by an independent research firm that reviews a number of key measures such as compensation and benefits, employee education and development, recruitment and retention, employee achievement and recognition, and work-life blend to name a few. NABR identifies best human resource practices and provides benchmarking for companies, like Brio Living Services, that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
“We are thrilled to receive recognition, as not only a Best and Brightest organization in West Michigan for the twenty-first year in a row, but also a Best and Brightest organization in the nation,” said Brio Living Services Chief Human Resources Officer Michelle Henderson in a press release. “This honor is a direct reflection of our team members at Brio Living Services who help deliver on our mission each day: Welcoming all, partnering together, enriching lives. We could not be more proud of this designation and of our dedicated team members who work tirelessly to improve the lives of older adults.”
“Those companies that made the list of Best and Brightest Companies to Work For®, as well as those companies that continue to make the list, are truly remarkable,” said Jennifer Kluge, president and CEO of NABR and The Best and Brightest Program. “Given today’s need for talent, retention of talent, and the further issues related to the pandemic, these companies have proven they are superior to market conditions. They are elite thinkers, and this honor demonstrates their commitment to excellence.”
This year’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation winners will be honored at the in-person 2023 Best and Brightest National Summit held on Sept. 27-28 in Detroit, as well as featured in the online edition of Corp! Magazine and in the Wall Street Journal.
